Another "Safe and Effective" Psychiatric drug found to be not so safe

Zyprexa is a "miracle" drug that made Eli Lilly roughly $4.2 billion last year. It now appears that Lilly knew of it's dangerous side-effects as far back as 1996 but failed to warn doctors. Law suits so far have cost Lilly an estimated $1.2 billion, but if you have made something on the order of $40 billion from sales of a drug who cares if you have to pay out a mere $1.2 billion to the people who have been damaged by it? The pharmaceutical & psychiatric industries seem to operate on the "ethical" principle that the profits justify the means.
